s390/compat: correct uc_sigmask of the compat signal frame

2015-10-22T21:49:19+00:00

commit 8d4bd0ed0439dfc780aab801a085961925ed6838 upstream.

The uc_sigmask in the ucontext structure is an array of words to keep
the 64 signal bits (or 1024 if you ask glibc but the kernel sigset_t
only has 64 bits).

For 64 bit the sigset_t contains a single 8 byte word, but for 31 bit
there are two 4 byte words. The compat signal handler code uses a
simple copy of the 64 bit sigset_t to the 31 bit compat_sigset_t.
As s390 is a big-endian architecture this is incorrect, the two words
in the 31 bit sigset_t array need to be swapped.

s390/setup: fix novx parameter

2015-09-21T17:10:43+00:00

commit 89b1145e93771d727645c96e323539c029b63f1c upstream.

The novx parameter disables the vector facility but the HWCAP_S390_VXRS
bit in the ELf hardware capabilies is always set if the machine has
the vector facility. If the user space program uses the "vx" string
in the features field of /proc/cpuinfo to utilize vector instruction
it will crash if the novx kernel paramter is set.

Convert setup_hwcaps to an arch_initcall and use MACHINE_HAS_VX to
decide if the HWCAPS_S390_VXRS bit needs to be set.

s390: adapt entry.S to the move of thread_struct

2015-07-20T11:22:18+00:00

git commit 0c8c0f03e3a292e031596484275c14cf39c0ab7a
"x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'"
moved the thread_struct to the end of the task_struct.

This causes some of the offsets used in entry.S to overflow their
instruction operand field. To fix this  use aghi to create a
dedicated pointer for the thread_struct.

revert "s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time decision"

2015-07-17T23:39:52+00:00

Heiko noticed that the current check for hugepage support on s390 is a
little bit too harsh as systems which do not support will crash.

The reason is that pageblock_order can now get negative when we set
HPAGE_SHIFT to 0.  To avoid all this and to avoid opening another can of
worms with enabling HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE I think it would be best
to simply allow architectures to define their own hugepages_supported().

Revert bea41197ead3 ("s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time
decision") in preparation.

s390/nmi: fix vector register corruption

2015-07-13T09:02:21+00:00

If a machine check happens, the machine has the vector facility installed
and the extended save area exists, the cpu will save vector register
contents into the extended save area. This is regardless of control
register 0 contents, which enables and disables the vector facility during
runtime.

On each machine check we should validate the vector registers. The current
code however tries to validate the registers only if the running task is
using vector registers in user space.

However even the current code is broken and causes vector register
corruption on machine checks, if user space uses them:
the prefix area contains a pointer (absolute address) to the machine check
extended save area. In order to save some space the save area was put into
an unused area of the second prefix page.
When validating vector register contents the code uses the absolute address
of the extended save area, which is wrong. Due to prefixing the vector
instructions will then access contents using absolute addresses instead
of real addresses, where the machine stored the contents.

If the above would work there is still the problem that register validition
would only happen if user space uses vector registers. If kernel space uses
them also, this may also lead to vector register content corruption:
if the kernel makes use of vector instructions, but the current running
user space context does not, the machine check handler will validate
floating point registers instead of vector registers.
Given the fact that writing to a floating point register may change the
upper halve of the corresponding vector register, we also experience vector
register corruption in this case.

Fix all of these issues, and always validate vector registers on each
machine check, if the machine has the vector facility installed and the
extended save area is defined.

s390/process: fix sfpc inline assembly

2015-07-13T09:02:18+00:00

The sfpc inline assembly within execve_tail() may incorrectly set bits
28-31 of the sfpc instruction to a value which is not zero.
These bits however are currently unused and therefore should be zero
so we won't get surprised if these bits will be used in the future.

Therefore remove the second operand from the inline assembly.

s390/sclp: clear upper register halves in _sclp_print_early

2015-07-07T07:28:29+00:00

If the kernel is compiled with gcc 5.1 and the XZ compression option
the decompress_kernel function calls _sclp_print_early in 64-bit mode
while the content of the upper register half of %r6 is non-zero.
This causes a specification exception on the servc instruction in
_sclp_servc.

The _sclp_print_early function saves and restores the upper registers
halves but it fails to clear them for the 31-bit code of the mini sclp
driver.
